In response to the current administration’s reckless dereliction of it’s duty to secure our Southern border, Tucker Carlson just dropped a new show promoting the “Take Our Border Back” convoy, which is occurring THIS MONDAY January 29th through Saturday, February 3rd. On his show, Tucker Carlson Uncensored, Tucker interviewed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the convoy organizer Dr. Pete Chambers… Here’s the Take Our Border Back Convoy website, which includes all the details. The convoy will end on Saturday, February 3rd with three rallies in three states (Texas, Arizona, and California). You can find out how to join the...

For the past several months, I’ve witnessed the rise of the most powerful political force I’ve seen in my lifetime–Vivek Ramaswamy. I’m not saying this lightly. Do you know who this guy is? Have you been paying attention? If you wonder at all if this guy is the real deal, look no further than the media–they’re freaking out when they interview him! You have to ask yourself why that is. I have seen so many examples of Vivek shredding the media. Many of these exchanges are now not surprisingly hard to find on YouTube. They appear quickly, but later seem...

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.” –Matthew 5:13 (NIV) This is not an easy world to live in. The challenges are great–in some ways, perhaps greater than they have ever been–at least psychologically and spiritually. All around us, people are “checking out” in one way or another. Many get lost in one form of escape or another. It can be obvious escapes like drugs and alcohol. Then there’s entertainment, which...

Let me get this out of the way–I’ve been prejudiced against mainstream Christian movies. In the old days, these movies were often poorly made, and I always felt an embarrassment for the cause. Christians advertise a better way to live but make crappy movies! The two don’t go together, right? Well, something changed along the way. And I think we can pinpoint it to Sherwood Baptist Church in the town of Albany, Georgia. There, their visionary Senior Pastor Michael Catt found that only a small percentage of high school-aged boys and girls actually attended church. It became clear that they...

Patrick Rooney, host of "DECLARATION of Independence," sits down with Professor David Clements, a leading voice for stopping the use of election machines and returning to paper ballots. Professor Clements was fired from his teaching position at New Mexico State University for his bold stance against their masking and vaccine mandates. He has been featured on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," and many other programs. Professor Clements is currently on a nationwide mission to restore trust in our elections.

I tried to tell you. And so did others. The word has finally gotten out to the world–or at least that part of it that is not under an information blackout (self-imposed or otherwise). I’m from the old school. The “show me, don’t tell me” school. The Teddy Roosevelt, “Walk softly but carry a big stick” school. But every once in a while–when appropriate and timely–it’s good to show your “bona fides.” After we were hit with COVID-19 at the beginning of 2020, I started to post blogs and videos about it. It was obvious to many of us that...

They’re stealing another election right under our noses! The Maricopa County, Arizona Board of Supervisors has certified the governor’s election in favor of incumbent Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs over Republican MAGA candidate Kari Lake, despite the fact that the county ran an election filled with printer breakdowns, questionable security, extremely long waits to vote, and at least five major conflicts of interest. I want you to see what these conflicts of interest were, and how OBVIOUS they were!… Conflict #1: Katie Hobbs to recuse herself from election oversight as Secretary of State in her own election for Governor. Conflict #2:...

PART I The Leftist liberals have done all that they can to destroy what is good – all because of greed, wealth, and power. Not knowing that they are playing right into Satan’s hand. He is the real leader of all this. But the liberals think that they are truly running the country. They did all they could to eliminate Trump because he represented the people and loved his country. For one fairly short period, Trump had this country in a place that made you proud to be an American. But even Christians and liberals hated him because he was...

Hello Folks, it has been a while since I have written an article. I have been so busy doing other things like work and rebuilding my life after my divorce, after 42 years of marriage. This was heartbreaking, to say the least, and very stressful. But life goes on, and you must move on. As a God-fearing man, I know God was watching over me through the whole process, and he allowed me to go through the pain to gain strength through it all. Life improved for me because God had to show me myself and because I admitted my...

Hello Everybody! Last night I welcomed comedian and long-time friend Marc Yaffee to my Old School LIVE show. I called the episode “FRIENDS Who DISAGREE.” While I really appreciate Marc coming on, and think he did a great job, I felt most of the way through the show that I wasn’t doing such a great job myself! But what do you do–it’s Live–and as much as I may want to, I’m not going to edit my less than stellar moments out (it would have taken me all night!). And I got some friendly, yet critical feedback from a good friend....

Hello Friends, Last night I was sickened to find out that Biden and Christopher Wray’s FBI RAIDED President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago HOME! The supposed reason for this raid was the execution of a search for materials that Trump allegedly took with him after his Presidency. Fox News sources said the National Archives and Records Administration referred the case to the Justice Department, which recovered 15 boxes of classified materials from the home. Anyone with a functioning brain knows that the Leftist cabal that currently runs our country is deathly afraid that President Trump will run again in 2024. They have tried...

I’ve been wrestling with the “Ukraine question” since Putin launched his invasion. The first thing I discovered was my own ignorance. Like most Americans, I didn’t know jack about Ukraine, its history, or its relationship with Russia. But in attempting to educate myself, I ran into the big-media censorship and slant we’ve all become accustomed to. It was clear from the get-go that the media was in lock-step: Ukrainian President Zelensky is a hero–period. He is boldly standing up for his People–for FREEDOM. Do not dare challenge that point! Knowing that the media is almost always wrong, and noting their...

If you’re keeping up with Old School, you know that I’ve been getting a quick education regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It seems everybody is. There is a lot of propaganda in the air, as there always is when war is involved, and corrupt entities are involved. We need to know–as best as we can–what is true and what is not true in this situation. In a conflict which has the potential to become nuclear, ALL of our lives may be on the line. What has clearly emerged now, is that almost everything we see in the media paints...

I must confess that I have often doubted that Jesus could somehow relate to us. I mean–with my “descent into Hell” as I’ve described–how could he relate to THAT? …Of course, he did descend into Hell, didn’t he? So he certainly knows what Hell is like! But more to the point, Jesus did not sin, so how could he relate to the sinner? All this has been on my mind for some time. A few days ago, I was reading the Bible and saw the passage where–on the night of his betrayal–Jesus took his disciples to the garden so that...

Our world needs good churches more than ever! Yet, unfortunately, from my experience, they seem to be in short supply. I have a fair amount of experience with churches. I’ve experienced the good, the bad, the ugly, and the in-between. I’ve finally arrived at the conclusion that–as in many areas of life–it’s time that we learned from each other. The model for churches we typically see–no matter the kind of church–is off. Typically, in one form or another, the pastor/minister seems to think it is his (or her–these days) duty to teach us, even though Jesus pointedly warned to “let...

First, let me get this out of the way: My posts are NOT for everyone! Last night a friend called and yelled at me, saying I have bad motives for posting some of the things I do. I didn’t have this answer then, but it came to me now. There’s a simple way to see if what I say is true–focus on the actual content and not what you think my motives are. Or, ask yourself if I have a history of lying to you. If I don’t, then perhaps what I say has credibility. Is that fair? But if...

The most common response to my last post, WHAT Made Me CONTINUE In SEXUAL SIN, was shock. Shock that they (we) had put so much trust in an authority figure only to find out that that person was, indeed, not God (far from Him). The shock response represents a challenge to the entire way we view the world. A friend of mine, David, called my post incredibly “inconvenient.” It is inconvenient because there’s something in us that would rather remain sleeping in a comfortable environment that allows us our illusions. Swimming with the sharks David told me about a fascinating...

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20 KJV I have been in the midst of unloading a burden, and sending out a warning of wrongdoing, in these recent posts: Sexual MOLESTATION–The Secret CRIME When All Goes SILENT (After Disclosing SEXUAL CRIME) After these disclosures, it’s apparent that the Christian minister who molested me and encouraged me to continue in this sin with him for a period of YEARS has shown no real remorse–just a bunch of excuses...

Hello Old Schoolers! I recently sat down with long-time friend and martial arts expert Jack Toufenkchian to discuss the spiritual connection in the martial arts. I think you’re really going to enjoy this one! To Contact Jack Toufenkchian ......... ......... To your Health, Success, and Freedom! Patrick

Recently I decided to get something off my chest that had been eating me for a long time (Sexual MOLESTATION–The Secret CRIME). What I didn’t fully realize when I wrote it was that this crime is secret for a reason: It’s not just the secret of the “victim” or “perpetrator,” it’s also secret because once exposed, few want to acknowledge it. In effect, all goes silent. Note: When I say “crime,” I am not necessarily referring to a legal crime–what I disclosed about my adult experiences with molestation were not legal crimes–but they were moral crimes. Once disclosed, the perpetrator...
